  • Ep. 141 - Lord of The Rings Fans Rejoice! - 12/22/25 - News & Rumors
    Dec 22 2025

    In this episode, LEGO rumor season officially goes nuclear.

    A single whisper has sent the entire LEGO community into speculation mode, and if it’s even remotely true, it could become one of the most ambitious licensed sets LEGO has ever attempted. We’re talking Middle-earth. We’re talking scale. And we’re talking about a build that could completely redefine what LEGO Icons is willing to do with fantasy themes.

    But that’s just the beginning.

    We also dig into a surprising sci-fi property making its way into LEGO form, several gift-with-purchase builds that might quietly become sleeper favorites, and a packed wave of January releases that signals where LEGO’s priorities are heading in 2026. From architecture and botanicals to Icons, BrickHeadz, and beyond, there’s a lot to unpack — including some price shifts that may raise eyebrows.

    This episode is all about reading between the bricks. What’s real, what’s rumored, what feels inevitable, and what might be LEGO testing the limits of how far fans are willing to go with them. Whether you’re here for the leaks, the speculation, or just trying to decide what deserves a spot on your wishlist, this one’s loaded.

    Settle in, because if even half of what’s being rumored comes true, 2026 is going to be a very interesting year to be a LEGO fan.

  • Ep. 140 - LEGO’s First True Giant - The UCS Imperial Star Destroyer Review
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode, we’re traveling back to the early days of UCS LEGO Star Wars to revisit a set that once redefined what a LEGO model could be. Long before massive boxes, interior details, and hyper-engineered builds became the norm, there was a single gray triangle that changed everything.

    Released in the early 2000s, this set wasn’t just big for its time — it was unthinkable. It shattered piece-count records, pushed LEGO into uncharted territory, and became a benchmark that future Ultimate Collector Series sets would be judged against for years. At one point, this was the biggest LEGO set ever made.

    But how does it hold up today?

    With modern UCS giants on the shelves and building standards evolving dramatically over the last two decades, this episode takes a hard look at whether this legendary Star Destroyer is still worthy of its reputation — or if it’s simply a relic of a different LEGO era.

    We’ll talk about the build experience, the design choices that feel dated now, the surprisingly bold engineering decisions LEGO made at the time, and how it stacks up against its modern successor. There’s nostalgia here, yes, but also some honest criticism that might surprise longtime fans.

    If you’ve ever wondered where the UCS line truly began… or whether the originals still deserve their pedestal… this is one review you won’t want to miss.

    This week’s LEGO News & Rumors episode is loaded with end-of-year chaos, last-chance buys, and some seriously interesting signals about where LEGO is heading next.

    We’re talking double VIP points, a limited-time GWP that’s about to disappear, and one of the biggest Ninjago sets ever finally landing.

    Hundreds of sets are officially on the chopping block, and some major fan-favorites have already vanished. From iconic display pieces to modern classics, this episode breaks down what’s retiring, what’s already sold out, and what that means for collectors heading into 2026.

    If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a few sets… or wondering whether you already missed your chance… this is an episode you do not want to skip. We’ll cover the trends, the warning signs, and which serts are quietly disappearing faster than anyone expected.

    Big releases. Big retirements. Big decisions. Let’s talk LEGO.

  • Ep. 136 - LEGO, The Final Frontier: The Star Trek USS Enterprise 1701-D Review
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode, we’re taking a warp-speed dive into one of the most anticipated LEGO releases of the year — the brand-new LEGO Icons U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. This massive build isn’t just another sci-fi display piece; it’s a full celebration of Star Trek: The Next Generation, packed with surprises, clever engineering, and more nostalgic nods than you might expect from a LEGO starship.

    But here’s the thing: this set does a lot more than recreate an iconic silhouette. The designers made some bold choices — from the way the structure comes together, to the way major components separate, to a few unexpected upgrades that longtime fans will immediately appreciate. And yes… there are also a couple of “I wish they’d done this differently” moments we need to talk about.

    We also take a look at the full lineup of included characters — a surprisingly generous minifigure selection that captures the heart, humor, and personality of the show in a way that feels genuinely authentic. Some inclusions made me cheer, one or two surprised me, and there’s one character accessory that absolutely stole the spotlight.

    If you’re wondering how this 18+ Icons build stacks up in terms of playability, display presence, build experience, and overall value — or whether it lives up to the hype fans built up leading to release — this is the review you don’t want to miss.

    Join me as I break down the choices LEGO made, the details that caught me off guard, and the moments in the build where I stopped and said, “Oh wow… they really went for it.” And stick around until the end for my full rating and final verdict.

And if you’re into massive builds, classic vehicles, or a certain set of pocket-sized monsters… let’s just say 2026 is shaping up to be a very expensive year.

    On top of that, there’s a major update affecting Bricklink buyers and sellers around the world—one that could reshape how collectors, builders, and investors get their parts and sets. It’s a story worth paying attention to.

    All that, plus first looks, early hints, and a few “wait, what?” moments sprinkled in along the way. If you want to stay ahead of the curve (or just plan your 2026 LEGO budget before it explodes), you’re in the right place.

  • Ep. 134 - Top 5 LEGO Sets That Changed the Game
    Nov 26 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into the LEGO sets that didn’t just sell out or look cool on a shelf — these are the sets that altered the entire trajectory of the LEGO brand. I’m not talking the biggest, the most expensive, or the fan-favorite classics. I’m talking about the true industry-shakers. The sets that made LEGO rethink its strategy… expand its boundaries… or even rescue itself from disaster (Or put it there).

    Over the last fifty years, a handful of builds have quietly — and sometimes loudly — reshaped what LEGO is and what it could become. Maybe it was a set that launched a brand-new theme. Maybe it introduced a radical building technique. Maybe it opened the door to a partnership that changed LEGO forever. Or maybe… it was the right (or the wrong) set during a critical moment in LEGO history.

    These are the five sets that moved the needle more than any others — not necessarily the “best,” but the ones that left the biggest fingerprints on LEGO’s future. And fair warning: a couple of these picks might surprise you… or even spark some healthy debate in the comments.

    Join me as I reveal my Top 5 Game-Changing LEGO Sets, along with why each one mattered, what it changed, and how it helped build the LEGO we know today. And make sure to hang around until the end for some honorable mentions, plus a sneak peek of upcoming episodes you won’t want to miss.

    Thanks for tuning in — now let’s talk about the sets that didn’t just build worlds… they built LEGO itself.
